Chapter 1259 Method
He snorted, "It must have been those evil spirits!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Regardless of how this message spread, its root cause must be evil.

It is in conjunction with the Undying Evil Lord.

Huang Zhengyang frowned and said, "These demons sent so many people to help the statue control more powerful figures?"

He turned his head and said, "Brother Chu, what do you think?"

"I'm afraid it might be even worse than this."

"Worse? Are they going to kill these experts?"

"The immortal evil lord statues we see usually only have two actions: one is to control people through illusion, and the other is to kill people through illusion."

"Yes, that's it!" Huang Zhengyang agreed. "Could it be the second scenario?"

"It's most likely the second one. Even if it's the first one, the ultimate goal is probably the second one. Anyway, the descent of the Undying Evil Lord is always accompanied by death and slaughter, nothing else."

"Damn it! They deserve to die!" Huang Zhengyang said bitterly, "How many innocent people have died at their hands!"

"We still need to eliminate it at its root, but unfortunately..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Huang Zhengyang sighed.

Unfortunately, the imperial court blocked the secret technique, was not at ease with Chu Zhiyuan, and could not truly threaten the Undying Evil Lord.

If this continues, the Undying Evil Lord will not only not stop, but will become even more ruthless.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Has the imperial court noticed this trend? More and more Undying Evil Lords are descending, and they are getting stronger and stronger."

"Ah."

"...To stop these experts from going there now, we would need to mobilize many experts from the imperial court, but I'm afraid even with so many experts, it wouldn't be enough."

Chu Zhiyuan was too lazy to say anything more.

The more you talk, the more you seem to want it, the more suspicious and uneasy the court becomes, and the less willing they are to give it to you.

"I will mobilize the entire Exorcism Division to guard a radius of fifty li, and have the city guards of Dongning City guard the city gates, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving!"

"Brother Huang, doing this will put a lot of pressure on us, and the Exorcism Division will not be able to handle it."

"In these extraordinary times, this is the only way!"

"Besides Dongning City, what about all the towns and villages within fifty li? Should they all be sealed off?"

"Yes, seal it off completely, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "How many people would be enough?"

"I will get the city guards and the Demon Extermination Bureau to help us. We must not let anyone get close to that statue!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "It's not easy, then we need to speed things up."

"I'll go now!" Huang Zhengyang said. "Brother Chu, don't rush over. Let me arrange the men first and observe the situation before you go."

"Alright." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Huang Zhengyang clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Let's go."

He turned and strode away.

The handsome young man hurried to catch up.

Chu Zhiyuan escorted him to the gate of the Heavenly Sword Courtyard and watched him leave surrounded by several experts.

Heavy heart.

……

Zhu Lingyun was fifty miles away from the statue of the Undying Evil Lord, and his hair stood on end. He couldn't wait to leave.

He focused his mind on circulating the Myriad Forms Cliff Heart Method and the Myriad Forms Returning to the Spirit Technique, and his mind gradually became as calm as a lake.

The Myriad Forms Return to the Divine Technique is activated, absorbing the strange aura in the air, which is different from the spiritual energy absorbed by true essence.

Through the memories of the Undying Evil Lords, he knew that the strange aura of this Azure Origin Heaven was too thin and not suitable for the cultivation of Evil Lords.

The difference is like the difference in spiritual energy between the Lesser Outer Heaven and the Outer Heaven.

The Evil Lord brought with him power after his arrival, so he didn't need to start cultivating from scratch.

However, the power brought down by the Evil Lord was only a part, not all of it.

Therefore, his current power has the quality of an Evil Lord, but not the quantity.

One must recover little by little to reach the perfection of the Evil Lord, and then break through to become the Undying Evil Lord.

To become an Undying Evil Lord, one cannot cultivate in the Azure Origin Heaven; one must cultivate in the Dreamy Netherworld.

The Myriad Forms Returning to God Technique he practiced was a miraculous skill from the Myriad Forms Cliff, directly pointing to the Undying God.

But once you reach the God-Emperor realm, ascending further is truly like climbing to heaven; each realm is extremely difficult. The Evil Lord should originally be called the God-Emperor; "Evil Lord" is the title Bi Yuantian uses for them.

The one who descended can indeed be called an evil deity, because he used a shortcut, which is also an evil method.

The nine ranks of the Divine Venerable are all extremely difficult to attain. Cultivating step by step requires a long period of focused and arduous practice, which is far less efficient than using evil methods.

Some of these descending evil deities are greedy for quick results, while others are desperate for advancement and have no choice but to abandon the righteous path and take the evil one.

The Myriad Forms Returning to the Divine Technique is not inherently an evil technique, but if one takes shortcuts, then it becomes an evil technique.

Chu Zhiyuan appeared in Li Hongzhao's courtyard.

Li Hongzhao emerged from the house, dressed in a red robe, with a jade-like face and crimson lips, stunningly beautiful.

She smiled sweetly and said, "You've finally arrived. I was just looking for you."

Chu Zhiyuan sat down at the stone table and accepted the tea she offered: "What is it?"

Li Hongzhao looked him over: "You don't look well. Did you run into trouble?"

Chu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea, frowned and shook his head: "Another troublesome Undying Evil Lord has descended. It's very troublesome."

Li Hongzhao: "A deadly threat?... This undead evil lord that has descended is getting stronger and stronger, it's a bit strange."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Li Hongzhao asked, "What is the origin of this Undying Evil Lord?"

"We haven't figured it out yet," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Let's wait and see. The court is deploying people to surround him and prevent anyone from waking him up."

"Oh, so you're not going to take direct action this time?" Li Hongzhao said with a smile. "The court might suspect that you're deliberately being coy and retaliating against them for not giving you the secret technique."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and shook his head: "Let them be."

Li Hongzhao said, "Do you know who strongly advocated against giving you the secret technique?"

"Prince Zhuang?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

How did you guess?

"The one who understands me best is probably Prince Zhuang," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile. "And naturally, it is Prince Zhuang who wants to avoid suspicion."

“Prince Zhuang has the best relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect, yet he strongly opposed giving you the secret technique. Otherwise, you would probably have obtained it.”

"Which two princes support this?" Chu Zhiyuan asked respectfully, taking a sip of his drink.

“Both Prince Su and Prince Ying support it, only Prince Cheng opposes it,” Li Hongzhao said. “Prince Su is close to Guanghan Palace, while Prince Ying is close to Fuyun Sect.”

"There's such a secret?" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

“In short, if you can persuade Prince Zhuang, you will be able to obtain the imperial secret techniques,” Li Hongzhao said. “If you don’t put in the effort this time, things might change, and they won’t accept the coercion.”

"If they take it as a threat, there's nothing we can do."

"Is the Undying Evil Lord in great danger this time?"

“The most dangerous one,” Chu Zhiyuan said, “is probably coming for me; there’s no way to avoid it.”

This was his intuition, an intuition that arose immediately.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of moving forward, but instead hid in Tianjian Peak, claiming it was to go into seclusion and avoid this calamity.

Li Hongzhao said, "I'll ask my master for help!"

"No." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Li Hongzhao frowned: "What, even Master can't stop him?"

"Hmm, it's probably difficult." Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, "Senior Song may not be able to withstand an attack from a higher level."

"Then what should we do?" Li Hongzhao said, "You can't just throw your life away, can you?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's probe his strength first; we'll surely come up with a solution."

Li Hongzhao stared at him, her phoenix eyes sparkling, and smiled, "Looks like your trump card."

She knew Chu Zhiyuan's temperament best; he was incredibly reliable.

If I weren't confident in protecting myself, I wouldn't be so safe and secure now.

This shows that while the Undying Evil Lord posed a threat to him, it was only a threat; he still had a trump card up his sleeve that he could withstand.

Chu Zhiyuan patted the golden sword at his waist: "That is my confidence."

Li Hongzhao said, "I can get my hands on some secret techniques and methods, but in these extraordinary times, we can't afford to worry about that."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and asked, "A secret technique obtained from Senior Song?"

“Master can access these secret techniques,” Li Hongzhao said.
